attended an amazing event this week where the speaker reinforced the importance of goal setting. Only 10% of the people in the world achieve their dreams and goals and unleash their own talent? Why is that?
The speaker gave a tip and shared that successful people write down their goals and journal about them daily. Only 2 people in the room rose their hand that they actually did these 2 things. WOW! This was a room full of entrepreneurs who have amazing hopes and dreams for unleashing the talents they have to be of service to others. We all know its important to write down our goals, but do you journal about them as a daily habit?
We are all smart intelligent people. What is it that these people are doing that the rest of us still haven’t figured out? I personally am someone who loves reading leadership and development materials. There are tons of amazing authors who give us amazing tips and strategies. This week on our HR Town Hall, our new Talent Strategy Managing Director Nate Boaz recommended an amazing set of books to SPARK our development.
The people in HR that follow my blog have already seen this, however, many of you are from other parts of the organization. I felt compelled to share these great insights around some recommended reading for igniting the SPARK in yourself, your team or your organization.
I have read two of the recommended books and seen the movie Moneyball. I would love to hear thoughts from anyone who has read any of the books below and any great insights and wisdom that they provided.
Let’s continue to unleash the talent that we have within to have a greater impacts on ourselves, our teams, our families, our communities as well as our business of Accenture. ENJOY!
